Issue title

Target selection with tools or weapons

Steps to reproduce

Equip a tool or weapon
Click on or near a valid target for that tool/weapon
Receive info about another target close-by

Describe your issue

Once you have a tool or weapon in hand, the GUI/HMI should prefer targets of that tool or weapon (creatures).

I was low on health and kiting a swarm of spiders and slowly whittling them down until I went to stab one and got lovely information about my fire instead. x.x

While this might not be considered a bug per se, it severely affects gameplay when fighting (and the solution would aid the other tools as well). When I have a spear in hand and click on a mob that is behind a tree it needs to attack the mob not tell me that trees can burn!

Then use [CTRL]+[sPACE] to fight instead, no more missclicks. =)

This is something we'll take into consideration, but we have no plans to change the design at this time. Changing the way that the targeting works would cause quite a few problems...
